Who Is Sharad Pawar?
Sharad Pawar, known to the masses as Saheb, was born on December 12, 1940. Hailing from a family in Baramati, Pune, Pawar started early in politics and became president of the State Youth Congress at 24 and a member of the State Cabinet 5 years later.
Pawar has been Chief Minister of Maharashtra for seven years out of his 32 years in politics. During these years, Maharashtra became and retained a position as the leading industrial state in the country and also a state with a very managed treasury.
Pawar has always stood for a society free of caste and communal biases. As Chief Minister he has consistently encouraged people of different communities, living in Maharashtra, to develop their special cultural and ethnic identity while contributing to the overall development of the state.
Pawar is an economic liberal and believes that only large-scale investment leading to rapid economic development and increased employment makes a country a real international power.
About The Split Of NCP
Last year in July, Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar led a vertical split in his party, joined hands with the National Democratic Alliance and took oath as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
The Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024 witnessed a decisive victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti alliance, securing a landslide win with 235 seats. The results marked a significant milestone for the BJP, which emerged as the single-largest party with 132 seats. The Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party also made notable gains, with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
The NCP’s ‘clock’ symbol is with the Ajit Pawar group, following a ruling by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in February, recognising it as the official NCP. On March 19, the top court allowed the Ajit Pawar faction to use the ‘clock’ symbol, with certain conditions, including that his party would issue a public declaration that the use of the ‘clock’ symbol for Lok Sabha and the Maharashtra Assembly Elections is sub-judice and subject to the outcome of the challenge made by the Sharad Pawar group to the decision of the ECI.
It had also asked the Ajit Pawar faction to not use the name and images of Sharad Pawar in its campaign materials. Following a rift between the Sharad Pawar and the Ajit Pawar factions of the NCP, the Election Commission of India recognised the Ajit Pawar’s party as the real NCP based on its legislative majority and allotted the ‘clock’ symbol to it. The top court had asked the Sharad Pawar faction to use the ‘Nationalist Congress Party-Sharad Chandra Pawar’s name for upcoming elections and the “man-blowing turha” symbol.
Earlier, the apex court had directed that the Election Commission’s order of February 7 allotting ‘Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar’ as the party name for the Sharad Pawar faction will continue till further orders.

Why is there a ceasefire at the behest of the US? asks SP leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that America’s arrogance is unbearable. A ceasefire at the behest of America and a war at its behest are not right. He said that Pakistan had carried out terrorist and destructive acts in the country before, why did the Modi government not respond to it at that time? He said that after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the country stood with the government like a lead wall, but a ceasefire was declared at the behest of America. He said that our country will decide whether to have relations with Pakistan or not. Who gave America the authority to do so? He said that they were brought to their knees at the behest of America.
Abu Asim Azmi said that when there were terrorist attacks earlier, where was America? Why didn’t it mediate? Once, it happened that Narendra Modi suddenly went on a visit to Pakistan for no reason. There is anger against Pakistan in the country and the people are adamant about continuing the war until the end of Pakistan. Narendra Modi says that negotiations and terrorism cannot go together, blood and water will not flow together, so why has no concrete step been taken against terrorism so far? Relations with Pakistan have been maintained repeatedly, now why was a ceasefire declared at the behest of America and the US President is also announcing it? Azmi said that if a war is fought across the border, then why was the war left incomplete?
Modi’s statement that blood and terrorism and water and blood will not flow together is just a dialogue. If there was to be a ceasefire, then there should have been mediation and intervention in this matter already. Why was it done now? He said that terrorism has not ended even after the abrogation of Article 370 and demonetization. Modi ji had said that if terrorism is not ended in 50 days, then the punishment given to me will be acceptable. Abu Asim Azmi said that India is the biggest power but America will teach us a lesson that when to go to war and when not, India will decide. He said that communalism is on the rise in the country and a burqa-clad woman was forced to chant the slogan of Jai Shri Ram and was mistreated. Muslims are being targeted. This is completely wrong. This kind of communalism should also end. The government also needs to put a stop to this.
